The abrasive mineral is coated onto a 3-mil polyester film base with a pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) backing for secure mounting during use. Available in 0.30 micron and 5.0 micron grades, these discs deliver tight particle distribution that produces consistent cut rates, surface finish, and service life across production runs. The PSA backing allows quick disc changes without adhesive residue, keeping polishing workflows efficient. This product is intended for technicians and production personnel performing end-face finishing on fiber optic connector assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese lapping discs are used in fiber optic connector polishing applications, including both field and factory termination environments. The 10-inch diameter format suits polishing fixtures and jigs common in production and repair settings. The aluminum oxide abrasive is suited for polishing ferrule end-faces on ceramic, stainless steel, and plastic connector bodies. The 0.30 micron grade is typically used as a final polishing step, while the 5.0 micron grade is suited for intermediate stock removal before final finish. Technicians working on single-mode and multimode connectors will find both grades applicable to standard polishing sequences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAluminum oxide abrasive on 3-mil polyester film for dimensional stability during polishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePSA backing for fast, secure mounting on polishing fixtures\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAvailable in 0.30 micron and 5.0 micron grades for multi-step polishing sequences\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTight particle size distribution ensures consistent cut rate and repeatable surface finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e10-inch diameter suits standard production and repair polishing fixtures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with polishing fixtures and jigs that accept 10-inch PSA-backed lapping films; intended for fiber optic connector end-face polishing applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApply the disc to a clean, flat polishing fixture surface, pressing firmly from the center outward to eliminate air pockets under the PSA backing. Follow the connector manufacturer's recommended polishing sequence when selecting between the 0.30 micron and 5.0 micron grades. Inspect the disc surface before each use and replace if abrasive loading or tearing is observed. Dispose of used discs per applicable workplace safety guidelines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAbrasive Mineral\u003c\/strong\u003e: Aluminum Oxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBacking\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3-mil polyester film with PSA\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAvailable Grits\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.30 micron, 5.0 micron\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.04 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 00051111499870\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3M\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7000044842\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"3M","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51347875692850,"sku":"7000044842","price":1063.02,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310524129.jpg?v=1782115389","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/3m-7000044842-aluminum-oxide-lapping-disc-10-inch","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
